Greg Oden: "There's no soreness now."

Will he hold up?

[WallIn]

So the apocalypse begun, huh?


Just kidding, good to see him play and have fun out there

[Le Shaqtus]

Probably not, 8 minutes of basketball won't cut it in the play offs.

[Angel Face]

Glass knees would eventually shatter.

[SpecialQue]

That's what she said?

[IncarceratedBob]

Oh shii. NBA prepare thy anus.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Not too late to build a HOF resume. DRob came into the NBA at 24. Oden is still 25.

[Lordsteven]

good to hear. hopefully his body can handle more minutes and get him some more playing time.

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Wade is the one who seems to be perpetually sore now.
He can have a vintage Flash night every once in a while, but he looks really bad out there especially last night, it was scary.

[Milbuck]

Hope he stays healthy. I'm fine with my Bucks going fo' fo' fo' fo', but the chip won't be as sweet without some competition.

[Joe Anderson]

Pacer fans are shook right now! :lol Hibbert will go back to looking like the offensive scrub that he is as Oden humiliates him on the biggest stage. :rockon:

[Thunderfan86]

Will he hold up?
Only time will tell. I hope he can stay healthy and get his NBA career back on track. If he does I can see him in a Thunder uniform next season.

[oarabbus]

Probably not, 8 minutes of basketball won't cut it in the play offs.


Yeah it will. The Heat really only need him for the series vs. Pacers. If he can give them 10-15 solid minutes he can sit out the rest of the damn playoffs.

[Derka]

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

[Heatles201]

Wish him nothing but the best

[TMT]

I just don't buy it. My personal opinion is that this guy will be on the bench in a suit come playoff time. They shouldn't have been so quick to get rid of Joel Anthony.

[poido123]

So what happens with him now?

Was this just a one off game to see how he's progressing?

[Eric Cartman]

Taking 2 seasons off then play 8 minutes with little to no practice before. Of course he isn't gonna have any soreness.

[Black and White]

I still don't trust his knees

[TylerOO]

It's over! How is Hibbert gonna cover him? Heat finals is a lockkk

[russwest0]

In ESPNs eyes da Heat just went from first round exit to clean sweeping all the way thru the finals :lol

[CelticBaller]

lol yeah right play him 32 minutes and we'll see

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Shit just got real.

[ssginc]

Yeah it will. The Heat really only need him for the series vs. Pacers. If he can give them 10-15 solid minutes he can sit out the rest of the damn playoffs.

This I do not understand. Hibbert averaged 40 MPG in the ECF last year, so what is Miami going to do for the other 25-30 minutes Oden isn't on the floor (assuming he's even healthy enough to play if/when the two teams meet up again this year)?

[GOATbe]

If bron doesn't win with this stacked fking team this year he shouldn't even be considered top 50 all time. All his competition is injured and his greatest challenge is roy hibbert:facepalm .

[TylerOO]

yea yea yea stfu

No, yall niqqas sux at this :roll: :roll: :roll:

hibbert played 40mpg and they still lost the to heat.

imagine if they can stop hibbert for atleast 15-20 minutes. he wont be getting in rhythm like usual either.

[TheWeeknd]

I just don't buy it. My personal opinion is that this guy will be on the bench in a suit come playoff time. They shouldn't have been so quick to get rid of Joel Anthony.
you dont buy it because you are a hater :facepalm


didnt you make a thread recently hoping for a major injury to happen to the heat?

[jbryan1984]

more like 4 seasons off.

[KD35willbeGOAT]

Not too late to build a HOF resume. DRob came into the NBA at 24. Oden is still 25.

His mind is 25 years old, but his knees are shakier than a 60 year old's.

[PsychoBe]

my dead grandfather would rather have Greg Oden's knees

[pegasus]

I'm pretty sure he was talking about Gloria's vajayjay.

[TMT]

I made a prediction that Dwyane Wade's body won't make it through the season. Is that irrational at all? Same for Oden, who is as fragile as glass. If you play the guy 20 minutes a night there will be issues.

Why not actually talk basketball instead of shit? :confusedshrug:

Actually, you did say that if Bosh or Wade got injured, this season would get more interesting. That s kind of wishing for a major injury to a Heat player.

I'm not blatantly coming out and saying I want them to tear ACLs or break arms or anything like that. :oldlol: But who can deny that an injury to either one wouldn't even the playing field for the rest of the league?

Now back to the topic, boys and girls.

umm yea you kinda are. youve been saying that a lot actually

stfu and stick to the subject. If you want to talk shit, feel free to message me. Otherwise stop cluttering the board like you are hypocritically widely proclaiming is ruining the board.

TMT

We don't want to have predicting an injury thread on here..it's just not right so I have re-named this thread for that reason. 9 times out of 10 we Normally lock or delete threads that talk about predicting an injury.


apparaently you were predicting a heat injury and a mod changed it :roll:


btw i never said you were wishing for an injury but you did say you wanted to see the heat suffer from a major one:confusedshrug:

That was when I made a thread claiming that I thought the Pacers might endure a season ending injury to one of their stars, allowing an easier path for the Heat to the Finals...

Talk about backfire. :roll: Nice try though.

Quote me on "wanting", "hoping" or "wishing" for a Heat injury then if you are so sure.

[Megabox!]

:applause: hope the guy comes back healthier than ever.

[Lebron23]

This Classless Spurstard is still butt hurt because Lebron and the Miami Heat ended the spurs winning streak in the NBA Finals. And they were their toughest opponent since the 2005 NBA Finals.

I wish Greg Oden a long and healthy NBA career. This guy is better than Splitter.

I can admit when I'm wrong. I'm just impressed someone one here remembered something I said six months ago. :oldlol:

I was mad then, obviously. But that shouldn't be used as a reason to discredit my opinions now. I honestly think a Wade or Bosh injury would make this season a hell of a lot more interesting.


lol

[TheWeeknd]

check mate son. im gonna go watch the thunder rockets game. :banana:

[TMT]

lol

I don't see me hoping or wishing anything. :confusedshrug: Talking out of your ass, kid... Just give it up.

[Lebron23]

lol

Wow.

[TMT]

Wow.

Y'all act like Lebron only having one other superstar on his team is the end of the damn world. :oldlol:

[El Gato Negro]

well i would hope he wouldn't be sore after what six minutes? we will see how he feels after he gets 15+ minutes in a game. but i hope he can stay on the court and turn his career around.

[EnoughSaid]

I was surprised to head that Oden would suit up and play. Considering it's the middle of January, I didn't know if it's really the best time to have him come out there. But this makes me optimistic and excited going forward. In 3 and a half months Oden should be ready to play 20+ a night. If Miami lands Bynum it'll take off some pressure.

[absalom]

Go get em Greg. :applause:


http://www.abload.de/img/ihnfoxywrhximmcj0y.gif

[Boarder Patrol]

Play him once or twice a week until march, and build up his minutes.

Eventually he could probably go 15 minutes a game, no back to backs obviously.

[RoseCity07]

Pacers aren't a threat even if Oden is hurt. Lebron will shut down Paul George when the time calls for it. Just like he did last year. Paul George is scared.

[Bandito]

Still better than Perkins+

[moe94]

Yes, because that was the issue with your post.

[buddha]

Yes they are, George and Stephenson got better plus they improved their bench (Granger, Scola). If the Pacers play LeBron like the Mavs and Spurs did (daring him to shoot) they will win in 5.

[jzek]

Then they'll get Bynum, too?

SMH at the ridiculousness of all of this...

[TMT]

Yes, because that was the issue with your post.

All I said was that an injury to them from a competitive standpoint would make it more interesting for the rest of the league, which is completely plausible. I never wished an injury on anyone. I swear Heat stans are the most sensitive, overreactive group on this board...

Everyone who isn't critical of LeBron and his team is a Heat stan, but you're not overreacting.

Are you actually mentally disabled? What is your argument even about? If player x wasn't around, this wouldn't be that way. Really? What an absolutely fascinating thing to contemplate.

There's no argument even being made is the thing... A simple true statement made by me led to a bunch of Heat Stan's bitching. All I'm trying to do is defend one unharming comment I made and what do you know an overreaction by the guy who is claiming that Heat stans don't overreact. :facepalm

Sad, he has so much nerve damage that he no longer can feel his knees crumbling away.

Give him 1 full year without injuries and a functioning knee(as functioning knee as his body allows) and he'll easily be the best center in the league.

You're one to talk about classless

I hope the Heat role players break his shooting arms. That's gonna prevent him from leading the league in shot jacking per game. I hope Bynum get traded next week. He's gonna average over 22 ppg with the Orlando Magic. Poor Dwight Howard. I don't think he's gonna average over 16 ppg with the Lakers.

this ***** look 60! **** me bill russell looked yonger a few years back! God damn, i bet he juicing like mad.

[plowking]

One of the strongest dudes to ever step on a basketball court. Its nuts how big and strong this guy is. He has so much Shaq about him in the way he moves and plays. Obviously not as offensively gifted, but hes far more active on the defensive end than Shaq ever was.

Its crazy watching someone that strong play basketball. Haven't seen it since Shaq.

a couple of dunks and suddenly he's Shaq reincarnated

[GrapeApe]

I was suprised how good he looked. He was out of sync and lost defensively but that was to be expected. He was moving really well. The talent is evident but that's never been in question.

[ZenMaster]

a couple of dunks and suddenly he's Shaq reincarnated

Trouble with reading and understanding?

[plowking]

a couple of dunks and suddenly he's Shaq reincarnated

Where in the hell did I say hes close to Shaq in terms of level of play? In terms of pure strength, hes right up there with the strongest guys.

[Jasper]

Probably not, 8 minutes of basketball won't cut it in the play offs.

FAIL

8 minutes from him / 15 minutes from Birdman and 28 +/- from Bosh wins the EAST...

If their plan holds up .. he will probably play about 12 minutes and it will all matter in the flow of the game.

Important part in the playoff's is flow , and Oden can change the flow for better or worse , depending on foul trouble.

[Mass Debator]

Top 5 GOAT center when all is said and done. 25/14/3/3 Oden and 29/9/4 Beasley bringing another championship to the Heat in 2018. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
